Couldn’t believe my luck when I was chosen for this! 🙌

Was a bit nervous ahead of my session but @kirstylogan was really easy to talk to and her insight/guidance was invaluable. ☺️

So appreciative to her for giving up her time and expertise to help me. ❤️

Hearing Ela Lee read from her debut novel on the ⁦@PrimadonnaFest⁩ stage gave me chills…then I began binge-listening on audible and couldn’t stop! Thoroughly neglected my work, friends and family and finished in record time 😅

Is it Time to stop calling it “domestic abuse” or “violence against women & girls”?

It’s MALE VIOLENCE

When we identify the perpetrator rather than just the victim, we have a chance of eliminating it because we focus on the cause & not only it’s effect

@RoxieAdelleKey @HarperCollinsUK @HQstories @DHAbooks @CatCamacho1 @ellenwiles @maddalenacav Looks amazing, Roxie! Hope you had a fabulous time 🤩

OFFICIALLY start work: 09:00 🫠

Listen, I love how flexible working has widened employment options for mums (and a big YAY for supportive partners! 🥳) But I’ve had mornings like this. They aren’t my definition of success.

Yet the messaging is insidious.

#EverydaySexism 5/5

[Adele Ahern @AhernAdele]

Ad in The Metro yesterday claimed ‘Success is… making the school run, the morning run and your first meeting by 9am.’

The images were of a woman; a gorgeous woman who had also, presumably, found time to shower and do her hair/full make-up before 9am. 1/5

[Adele Ahern @AhernAdele]

05:45: Wake
06:00: Morning run (leaving supportive partner with the kids)
07:00: Shower, hair, make-up, dress (leaving the supportive partner to continue taking care of the kids)
08:00: Meeting (still leaving the supportive partner to care for the kids)
08:30: School run 4/5

I don’t know whether to shout or cry… either way, I’m despairing 🤬😭

“It’s an energy that we’re talking about, not just a social status. It’s been tough if you’re from a working-class area. You grow up with a different understanding of the world than if you’ve never struggled with money. That energy is so powerful. https://t.co/5D1F77hj8y

@RoxieAdelleKey Brilliant piece, Roxie! 👏 Can’t wait to read your debut…

[Adele Ahern @AhernAdele]

@RoxieAdelleKey @2024Debuts @DHAbooks @HQstories Yay, so exciting!! So happy for you, Roxie 🔥

[Adele Ahern @AhernAdele]

@RachelCDawson Congrats, sounds ideal for you! 👏

[Adele Ahern @AhernAdele]

Securing a place on #WriteNow (2020) kickstarted my writing adventure. 😊

At last count, @PenguinUKBooks has published 20 debut authors through this scheme… and many more of the alumni have found publication success elsewhere.

What have you got to lose? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Good luck! 🍀
